Kind of. The onus is also on the shipper to verify that the receiving FFL is valid. If you miss this check, you could wind up shipping a firearm to somebody that has forged a license (this definitely happens, and more unscrupulous types might try to take advantage of the rush). This doesn't excuse their behavior though. I know a LOT of dealers that got overloaded. None of them said they were going to stop selling firearms permanently.

CTD gave in to pressure from the very people that are NOT their customers. To heck with them.

True. And that would probably go a long way in explaining to their customers if that's what they're doing. To make the blanket statement that they're "reviewing policies and procedures" leads to a lot of speculation. But then again, I've never bought from CTD so I really shouldn't care in the first place.

I was speaking with a CTD corporate employee the other day. She indicated that they'd shut down firearm sales after they'd sold more than a week's worth of firearms in less than 1/2 day. According to her, management was worried about the ramifications if their processes were found to be inappropriate (whatever that means). I'm guessing they're worried about the .gov reviewing their sales practices. You'd think that they would have thought about that when they first started selling firearms, not after the fact. Not only that, but as an online retailer, you can pretty much sell to anyone, the onus is on the transferring FFL to ensure the transfer follows proper procedures.

In any case take from that what you will. The lady I spoke with seemed genuine, and indicated that she'd been told they're resume once their sales procedures were reviewed.
